but.
So what if we find out?
It still cannot change the established facts.
Li Xiaohu didn't reply, but instead turned to look at Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner.
They both nodded in tacit understanding.
Seeing that Li Xiaohu and his companions remained silent, the bandits shouted again, "Hey!"
"Our boss is asking you a question!!"
"What the hell do you guys do?"
The words have not yet fallen.
Li Xiaohu suddenly scooped up a clump of sand from the ground with his long legs.
At the same time, he pushed off with his back leg, flipped to the side and swung his leg out, kicking straight at the boss's face!
The leader was kicked so hard that his head and body slammed to the ground, his chin was deformed, and he fell into the ground.
After twitching twice, it became still.
Almost at the same time!
With lightning speed, Partridge Whistle pulled out two pistols from his waist and fired two shots at the two nearest people!
Two bloody holes instantly appeared on the heads of the two people.
The old foreigner then drew his bow and shot an arrow through the head of the man in front of him!
"Meow! ————"
With a fierce shout, Erhu and Yaohu leaped out, their sharp claws slicing through the throats of both men!
In the blink of an eye!
Six of the eight bandits fell.
The remaining two people stared blankly at the scene before them, unable to react for a long time.
"823, who...who exactly are you?"
The question remains unanswered.
"Meow!"
Jin Yunu suddenly darted out from behind them, jumped onto one of the men's heads, and gouged out his eyes from behind.
Partridge Whistle then fired two shots.
It ended the lives of the last two people.
"Clap clap." Li Xiaohu clapped his hands.
He stared blankly at the bloody scene before him, walked up to the boss's corpse, and rummaged through his body until he pulled out a map.
Looking at the map, Li Xiaohu couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"This, this is a map leading to the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple?"
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle excitedly stepped forward to take a look and found that a location on the map was indeed marked as "Tongtian Great Buddha Temple"!
There were some surprises, but also some questions.
"But these aren't for tomb raiding, so why would they have this map?"
He believed his judgment was infallible.
Although the group smelled of blood, they did not smell of earth from the tomb.
The old foreigner opened the men's packages and found some brand-new tomb-raiding tools. He then remarked, "These are all new tools."
"I guess they're 'newcomers' who wanted to stop by and check it out on their way."
Li Xiaohu didn't care about the identities of the others and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to get it so easily."
"With this map, we should be able to find the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple easily."
Although Li Xiaohu knew the approximate location of the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple.
But if it's convenient, why bother going through the extra effort to find it?
Partridge Whistle and Partridge Whistle were also very excited.
This trip brought an unexpected surprise that they hadn't anticipated.
"Let's go." Li Xiaohu put away the map and led the two away.
The three people and three cats returned to the dock.
Hong Guniang looked at the group with some surprise and asked, "Did you lose them?"
The three of them looked perfectly fine.
There wasn't a single bloodstain or even a speck of dust on the clothes!
This made her think...
They lost track of them.
The old foreigner waved his hand and said, "How could that be?"
"They're just a bunch of lowlife thugs; we can take care of them all in one move."
"I really don't know where they get their confidence to actually try and kidnap Little Tiger Brother's senior brother?!"
Li Xiaohu nodded in agreement, confirming the old foreigner's statement.
"That's good." Miss Hong finally felt relieved.
Then he asked, "It's getting late, should we continue on our way?"
Li Xiaohu had not yet spoken.
Partridge Whistle spoke first: "Are you tired?"
Hong Guniang and Yin Xinyue exchanged a glance, then Hong Guniang shook her head and said, "It's alright."
"After all, I spent the whole day on the ship and slept quite a bit."
Partridge Whistle was delighted to hear this and continued, "Then let's continue on our way."
"We just found a map on those bandits."
"It's the map for finding the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple!"
He now has a map of the "Tongtian Great Buddha Temple".
Naturally, I was very eager.
But I still wanted to ask Li Xiaohu's opinion, so I asked him, "Brother Xiaohu, what do you think?"
Li Xiaohu glanced at Yin Xinyue and the other two women.
Seeing that they didn't seem tired at all, he said, "That's fine too."
Partridge Whistle then asked:
"Brother Xiaohu, do you want to go find your senior brother first, or go to the ruins of Heishui City in Western Xia to find the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple?"
Li Xiaohu naturally sensed Partridge Whistle's urgency.
He replied, "Let's go to Heishui City in Western Xia to find the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple first."
He knew that his senior brother, the Flying Lion, had long since retired from tomb raiding and no longer engaged in such activities.
The purpose of this trip is simply to visit him, catch up, and inquire about any methods of Taoist cultivation.
It's impossible to invite him to go tomb raiding together.
It would be better to do Partridge Whistle a favor first.
Moreover, judging from the map...
Tongtian Dafosi Temple is also closer.
It seems to be only about thirty miles away from here.
Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle was overjoyed and almost couldn't contain himself.
Fortunately, Hua Ling coughed lightly twice, which calmed him down a bit and prevented him from losing his composure in front of outsiders.
Li Xiaohu couldn't help but chuckle and handed the map to Partridge Whistle, asking him to lead the way.
Partridge Whistle was quite happy with this arrangement.
He picked up the map and started leading the way.
Gansu's topography is similar to that of Shaanxi, with barren loess plateaus on both sides of the Yellow River.
The situation is even worse in areas far from the Yellow River!
Even deserts have appeared!
As soon as they entered the desert, their pace noticeably slowed down.
